"It is not our intention to turn the unique beauty of Hawaii into another Venice, simply to provide a different kind of tour experience while immersing the senses with all the beauty and wonder that Hawaii has to offer from a perspective you cannot get anywhere else," said Shantel Kalmanson.
The gondola carries small groups of up to four passengers on the calm waters of the Ala Wai Canal, which the Kalmansons call Waikiki's "Grand Canal." Guests are greeted with a flower lei and are taken under three bridges. Complimentary bottled water, juice and an Italian pastry are provided. The gondolier has a music system and may sing some songs. Karaoke is also possible for interested guests.
